Waiting Waiting... Always WAITING.... !!!
After A While Becomes FRUSTRATING... !!!!!
Like Waiting For A Train That’s Gonna Make You LATE... !!!
Because It’s Been............. DELAYED...
Or Waiting For The Day When Girlies Play STRAIGHT...
Instead of Playing Games When It Comes To Getting Laid... !!!!
Ya See Waiting Is A Game That ISN’T Fun To Play... !!!
If What You’re Waiting For DOESN'T Guarantee Rewards... !!!
Like Music From Producers Who Have ALL The Excuses...
For Why It Takes SO LONG For Them To Finish Songs... !!!
To Me These Guys Act FUNNY When It Comes To Getting MONEY... !!!!!
... “We need to be paid, before we play a single note !
... That’s it okay, no time to wait, or for debate !
... If you want your stuff, to really sound tough !
... Pay us up front, and you’ll get what you want !”
That’s How It STARTS UNTIL Cash DEPARTS... !!!
But Then You're Left WAITING......................................
Waiting... WAITING................................. !!!!!
And Then You're Left Stationed Unable To... “Move”... !!!!!
Just Like Black Nations Requiring FOOD... !!!
STARVED of Information About Your Tunes... ?!?!?
Waiting Like SATAN With A Darkened Mood...
Because You Want CLOSURE.
Before Your Composure Gets Lost And Confused...
Because These Guys AREN’T Telling You...
When Things Are FINALISED Which Is NOT COOL.... !!!!!
Because INDUSTRY Types AREN’T Known For The Truth... !!!!!
Or For Doing What’s RIGHT By Artists Who Place TRUST In Them... !!!
These Industry Heads Who... Play The FOOL... !?!
But Walk Away PAID Even If Your Tunes...
Don’t Sell Or Get Played Like... Biebers' Do.... !!!!!
I Guess It’s Like Blacks Waiting For Reparations... !?!
Because Your Track’s Getting NO Rotation... !!!!
ON Radio Or In Your Own Home... !?!
It’s True White Folks Play The Same Old Role...
NO Getting Past GO Until THEY SAY SO.... !!!
Its The Same Old Story WITHOUT Denzel Or A Film Called... " Glory "... !!!
BIG WIGS Turn Tricks More Than They Make HITS... !!!
And The OTHERS Try To Smother By Pulling STROKES Like BUTTER...
When THEY TOO Are...... BLOODSUCKERS ...... !!!
........... SICK Paedophile Type HUNTERS ................. !!!
Just Waiting For Young Prey To ABUSE While They Make HAY... !!!
They Say It’s Just A Game That You Have GOT TO PLAY... !!!
If You Want To GET PAID But Waiting In Vain Holds Weight TODAY...
In... Different Ways To Bob Marley’s Day.... !!!
Or Maybe Just MAYBE Things Just WON'T Change....
It’s A STRAIN On The Brain For Those... " In The Game "...
Who Play It...................... STRAIGHT ...................... !!!!!
From Those Who ENTERTAIN To Those WAITING For THAT TRAIN ... !!!!!
CONTEMPLATING At The Station WHY ON EARTH Am I STILL.....

................................. “ Waiting “ ......................... ???
